Whilst eating tea a few minutes ago the radio was on R5 weekly hitlist. Big mistake as I really don't want to know what the insular and self-important clique of the bloggers and Internet opinion formers are getting all moist about.
Anyway, the topic moves onto the vomit-inducing crap that is Eastenders and the Peggy Mitchell cashing in her chips storyline. It ends with an interview with an "old school east end" woman about "those type" of east end women from the sixties and seventies. Her qualification to be interviewed? She was old ma Kray's hairdresser.
So, to get this straight. Here is someone being interviewed by the BBC because she was hairdresser to the mum of a pair of violent thugs who have been romanticised for some unfathomable reason. The bottom of the barrel is in danger of being scraped clean through.
Rant over, but I wonder if we'll be getting interviews with Osama Bin Laden's local newsagent or whatever in future.
seems legit to me..
Bab's was married to one of the Kray gang for many years, and now she's a British institution
what's your point caller?
Romanticising thugs? Creating a cottage industry out of being in the slipstream of violent thugs? The fact that a lot of the population of the country watch Eastenders?
Take your pick of issues.
How else do you think they got Danny Dyer to act so well?
Danny Dyer having an "acting" career. The issues just keep coming. Maybe Jason Statham might even get a pension from the BBC via Eastenders when he hangs up his AK.
the public gets what the public wants
But I want nothing this society's got
I'm going underground (going underground)
better not be down in the tube station at midnight though,
that didn't end well ......
No - I don't mind that the wine's gone flat, but a cold curry?!
One of the best lyrics:
The smell of brown leather...........it blended in with the weather.
Peggys dead ?????? Nooooooooo
I don't get Eastenders either never watch it, is it any different to the Helen storyline in the Archers?
I first felt a fist then a kick etc etc
"Before we start, I've got a joke . No, you'll like this one. A schizophrenic walks into a bar..."
Have they entered the 20th century in the east end yet and bought washing machines?
Apparently, Mark's got AIDS, and not the good type.

internet opinions, eh? Can't be having that!

It's the east end. If it were current they'd all be hipsters, the Queen Vic would serve a selection of locally brewed IPA's, the cafe would only serve cereal and they'd probably do their washing ironically with a mangle.

Oh the ironing.
It's probably fair to suggest that your typical STWer is not in the target demographic for EastEnders.
I've asked quite a few people for their opinion on Ronnie and Reggie, the general consensus is along the lines of "cor' blimey guv'nor. They were proper 'ard ruthless crims and no mistake, but they loved their mum, gawd bless 'er (etc)".
If enough people turn off the radio when dirge like this is broadcast, then there's a good chance that it won't be repeated.
Knees up Muvver Braahn.
